Growth and innovation

Growth strategies help clients decide where to play and how to win. We help our clients grow beyond their competitors.

Growth strategies help clients decide where to play and how to win. We help our clients grow beyond their competitors by combining:

Agile innovation — the art of making hard things easy and creating new viable business offerings faster

Business model innovation — the identification of growth targets and growth initiative options to develop a prioritized growth strategy, and help our clients to define the business model required to achieve that strategy and adapt to a changing market place

Client case studies

Global Agri BusinessEY was asked to conduct a review of the National Food Hub business initiatives leading to the development of a 5-year business plan to redefine their structure and operating model.

US National Non-ProfitEY successfully utilized a structured process, using purpose, to develop a new corporate strategy that will focus on the client's points of differentiation to sustain (and grow) their future success.

Purpose-led transformation

Purpose-led Transformation is a service offering, methodology, and forum for helping organizations with strategic transformation lead with “purpose.” Purpose is an aspirational reason for being that inspires and calls to action. Purpose serves as a motivating and centering foundation to drive strategic transformation.

Research shows that organizations that embody purpose see significant, measureable results.

Employees are 1.7 times more satisfied and 3 times more likely to stay at a purpose-led company1

89% of clients believe a purpose-driven company will deliver the highest quality products/services2

Purpose-led companies outperformed the S&P 500 by 10 times between 1996 and 20113

Our methodology allows purpose to set the strategic vision with a burning ambition and then utilizes agile innovation with pilots to pull organizations onto the new strategic growth trajectory. Additionally, EY operates the Beacon Institute with the objective to transform business by advancing the science and execution of purpose.

Our purpose-led journey: We believe in the power of purpose-led transformation because we live and breathe it each and every day. In the last two years, we have shifted our purpose from a singular focus on quality to a broader focus of building a better working world. Our purpose affects every area of how we do business — from how we engage our own people to how we think about the global possibilities.
